CAPTAIN KIDD'S TREASURE apparently was never found. This MGM short is just an excuse to use some stock pirate footage from other films to tell the swift story of Captain Kidd, his capture by the British and his willingness to tell them where hidden treasure was in order to save his life. They executed him the next day.
IAN WOLFE is the only recognizable actor I saw in the cast, in the modern day sequence where he is skeptical about the existence of such a treasure and not inclined to want the search to begin.
Some swashbuckling moments as pirates turn on Captain Kidd in a mutinous moment, but really no new light is shed on Kidd's treasure with this documentary-like short subject.
